The vivid autumn does not bring sadness
yet I am brokenhearted
the cool breezes and setting sun
those inspirations have parted
When this season decides to end
there is no need to care
as I see no message of wintery days
and a blizzard’s icy stare
The final peace of the golden maples
leaves fluttering goodbye
the savoury smells of my memories
are in their final fly
Celebration clamouring all around
giving thanks for many things
I sit, tossing stones
imagining the fate of rings
Carry on, dear friend
in this nameless walk through mortality
I hear your meaningless voice
as humanities hopeless modality
Some lovely image. I particularly like ‘I sit, tossing stones imagining the fate of rings’.. What a great idea – where do those watery rings go….?
